I am a Social Media Strategist.
Fueled for my passion for photography, I strive to bring an independent, creative
energy to my work.
I have evidenced my commitment to the power of photography by my work with
VisitGreenvilleSC, where I launched and implemented the #yeahTHATgreenville
UGC campaign on social media, which has grown to 175k user-generated images on
Instagram alone.
Through my experiences, I bring a uniquely visual perspective to social media
marketing.
